The platform advises corporates, private equity sponsors and financial investors across a broad range of leveraged financing transactions, including acquisition finance, LBOs, refinancing and recapitalisations.

This is an opportunity to join a highly active platform with strong deal flow and significant exposure to live transactions. The role offers direct interaction with senior bankers, sponsors, management teams and lenders, alongside the opportunity to take meaningful responsibility across transaction execution.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
